Privacy Policy

Burger Bros is a burger-rating club. Reviews, grades and inspector names are public — that's the point of the site. Your email address is not: we use it to log you in and to contact you about the club, and we don't sell it or hand it to anyone.

• Account details— your email address, your chosen inspector name, your badge number, and a securely hashed PIN (we can't read your actual PIN).
• What you post — burger ratings, written reviews, photos you upload, and spots you add to the map.
• Invitation records — who invited you, and who joined on your code.
• Activity basics— when your account was last active, and failed login attempts (so accounts can't be broken into by guessing).

Public: your inspector name, badge number, rank, reviews, scores, photos and recruiting tally — on this site, readable by anyone, and indexable by search engines.

Private:your email address and PIN. Your email is visible only to the site's administrator and is never shown on any public page.

• Logging you in.
• Club business — things like changes to how the site works, or news about the Bureau. If we ever send anything beyond that, every message will include a way to opt out.

We do not sell, rent or share your email address with anyone.

One cookie: it keeps you signed in. No advertising or tracking cookies. If the site adds advertising in the future, this policy will be updated first and a consent banner will appear before any ad cookie is set.

• Vercel hosts the site and stores uploaded photos. Neon stores the database. Both process data on our behalf and see standard server logs (like IP addresses).
• Google Places supplies restaurant details when someone adds a spot. Your search text for the spot goes to Google; nothing about your account does.
• Map tiles come from CARTO/OpenStreetMap — loading the map sends your IP address to the tile server, as with any image on the internet.

The site is kept family-friendly and membership is by invitation only. We don't knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child under 13 has an account, contact us and it will be removed.

• You can change your inspector name, email and PIN on your own file.
• You can edit your own reviews at any time.
• Want your account or any of your content deleted? Email us and it will be done — including your email address.

Questions, corrections, deletion requests: burgerbrosilm@gmail.com.

If this policy changes, the date at the top changes with it. Meaningful changes get called out to members directly.
